Kristen talks about SWATH in SFX Mag

Twilight star Kristen Stewart talks about her starring role in Snow White And The Huntsman in the new issue of SFX, on sale Wednesday 7 March. Snow White And The Hunstman is released in the UK on 1 June.

“She’s definitely a born leader,” says Stewart, who plays Snow White, stepdaughter of the evil Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron) in this dark and twisted verison of the fairy tale. “I mean, it’s literally pumping through those veins, but it’s been taken from her. She was put away when she was seven years old and her mother and her father were killed basically right in front of her. And we’re not doing the version of a fairytale that wouldn’t deal with all of those things, where you just sort of skim over all those things. It’s like all of these things are actually really important to the characters. She bleeds for her land and her people, and that’s just such a cool concept for me because it’s other people caring about people. I mean, she’s strong. She can kick ass. I think she genuinely lacks that innate fear of death that we all have. She’s got serious, fierce survival, not skills but insights. But she isn’t afraid of anything.”
